“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” (-Albert Einstein)

One more day and I should have my office/studio about the way it needs to be. I sometimes really do wish I was a minimalist—life would be much simpler, I think!

I still have to make curtains for this room…I’ve made them for other rooms in our house and I know I can make simple ones that will create a homier space, but it will take me the day to do it. I was disappointed in not finishing them last night: I had to head to Duke yesterday, and had some work to do last night,…

BUT…I did manage to get some art/photos hung in the room, and I like that I can change those around when the mood strikes me. Over the years, I have cut pretty prints out of magazines such as American Art Review, and save them in files for later. Then, I'll pull them out and frame them inexpensively to brighten up a space. That's what I did here with some of the artwork I hung.

I surround myself with things people have given me and they make me remember folks I love.

Oh, dear…wish I 'd heard that sooner!
